“I bought it to put my ice cream in when i make homemade ice cream. it fits nice in the door of my freezer. I should have bought two though. I didn't realize i'd get so much ice cream out of such a little cream and milk. The only thing is that it is so well insulated that i have to keep the lid off for about an hour until it freezes well enough to cover or it does not get firm. I had to cover it with wrap until it freezes then put on the lid.“

This is what I call an ice cream container.

Bummer. Just bought one of those ice cream makers that have the cooling compressor built in:

Whynter ICM-200LS Stainless Steel Ice Cream Maker, 2.1-Quart, Silver

After making a few batches, we realized we 0needed a better storage alternative than regular Tupperware or my wife's salad storage container. So, while we were still within the 30 day return window on the ice cream machine, we decided to get a couple of these storage containers (different colors to differentiate flavors). These things are really great. We've made a number of recipes that made exactly 1.5 quarts of ice cream. Fit in these containers perfectly.

So, the test was getting ice cream back out of the container. Just left them sit on the counter without the lid for about 10 minutes. Perfect. The rubber or whatever bottoms keep the container from sliding at all. Too, the narrowness of the container allows a perfect scoop from one end to the other.

So, what part of my review is a bummer? Well, since the ice cream machine looks as if it will be a keeper (barring it breaking down over the next two weeks), we are now short of enough containers. If I had enough confidence that the ice cream maker was going to be a keeper, I would have bought the four pack container offering. So, guess I'll be using two of these containers, some Tupperware, and a salad container.

Anyone considering making a bunch of ice cream and wanting to have a variety of storage containers, go ahead and opt for the four-pack. You won't regret it.

Update 5/24/18

I was so enamored with these containers that I went ahead and purchased the two additional colors I didn't get on my first purchase. I only make 1.5 quarts of ice cream in my machine to keep it from spewing over the top of my 2.1 quart bucket. So, this 1.5 quart container is perfect. Heck, most ice cream sold in stores today has downsized to 1.5 quarts anyway. Clean up is pretty easy as well. Prefer to hand wash as I can accomplish that in a couple of minutes as opposed to a 3 hour dishwasher cycle. I'm making so much ice cream, need to keep these containers working for me. Churn, churn, churn, eat, eat, eat. Rinse and repeat.

Edit 3/25/21

Had one of my outer shells develop a long crack. No idea as to how it occurred. Freezer too cold, hot water while cleaning cold plastic, sitting on counter. Absolutely no idea. Just spotted the crack as it was sitting in the freezer. Noticed that Sumo has a 100% guaranteed lifetime warranty. Contacted them and sure enough they provided a replacement unit right away. I mean next day. Amazing. I really like this company and their products. We've been using these containers (5) for nearly three years now and they have performed flawlessly.
